Benefits
Mill Benefits
- Fast Payback - A 3 Grader Shark Fin System costs approximately $32,000. Let's assume a mill produces 100,000 board feet per shift and lumber is selling at $300 per thousand. Working 2 shifts per day, 5 days per week, that's 4 million board feet per month. If Shark Fin gives you even a 1% 'upgrade,' that would net $12,000 per month and pay for itself in 3 months (A 5% upgrade would net $60,000 per month)
- Reduce Board Damage - Prevents marks from oil or grease by using double pulp safe polyurethane lugs and turners
- Reduced Grader Injuries - Reduce your WCB premiums and bring injured graders back to work earlier. A Shark Fin System can pay for itself by reducing WCB premiums in just 3 months! (see testimonials). Contact your local WCB/OSHA office for details
- Increase Production - Since the graders only have to focus on grading they can grade more boards in a shift, more accurately
- Colour Identification - Different colours make
- Reduce Board Damage - Prevents marks from oil or grease by using double pulp safe polyurethane lugs and turners
Grader Benefits
- No Pain - Pains in your wrists, elbows, shoulders and back should lessen immediately
- Ergonomically Correct - Shark Fin turns the board for you, allowing you to focus solely on grading the board. You can still touch or move the board if you need to re-grade the board
- Sit, Stand, or Walk - Grade how you feel comfortable to accurately grade the board
- Fewer Health Problems - Stay in your job longer and finish each shift with more energy to do the things that you wish to do
Your job is to grade lumber as accurately as possible. We hope Shark Fin makes this job easier for you!
Restrictions: None- No restriction on speed
- No restriction on the width, thickness or length of boards
